CNN’s intrepid storm
correspondents will report for a comprehensive investigation on the lessons
learned by Superstorm Sandy – and what Americans need to do to prepare for the
next inevitable weather test. The one-hour investigative documentary, The
Coming Storms will debut Sunday, Jan. 06 at 8:00p.m. and 11:00p.m. ET &
PT and replay on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 8:00p.m. and 11:00p.m. ET & PT.

CNN’s Jason Carroll
investigates the impact of the storm surge and flooding, particularly to lower Manhattan and New
Jersey, in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. He
also reports on climate change and how it may make storms more dangerous and
more damaging. CNN’s David Mattingly reports on potential
engineering solutions to address the powerful storm surges associated with
superstorms, and investigate the vulnerability of the nation’s power grids,
communications and transport systems – and what municipalities are and are not
doing to safeguard our infrastructure from storm damage. CNN’s Ed
Lavandera investigates what New
Orleans has done in the deadly wake of Hurricane
Katrina to make sure that city won’t go underwater again – and what we can
learn from them. CNN’s John Zarrella reports on threats to
our eyes in the sky, satellites which are crucial to warning people that a
storm is coming.

CNN’s Frederik
Pleitgen reports from Greenland about scientists from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar
and Marine Research who are studying the ice sheets
and temperature changes there, and their potential affect on global
climate. Throughout the documentary, CNN meteorologist and severe weather
expert Chad Myers, offers his scientific insights on the factors that
make these powerful “superstorms” so destructive, and discusses what Americans
can expect from future weather systems.

A complementary digital extension
will offer a slideshow of the damage to the Northeast coastal states following
the landfall and flooding after Superstorm Sandy. The online
coverage will include news stories and opinion pieces on what can and should be
done to meet the challenges presented by the impact of the next big
storm.

Excellent point, Phebe. I have not seen him either. He is a good reporter - I wouldn't be surprised to suddenly hear he was hired elsewhere. Hmmmm, no tv time (morning or primetime) and no tweet! Something is up.

You might just be on to something. Al Jazeera ismaking it very clear that hey plan to provide worldnews. Something that CNN should've been doing a long time ago. CNN could try to hire Vanguardcorrespondents Mariana Van Zeller, Christof Putzeland Adam Yamaguchi. Vanguard is an award-winningdocumentary series. It will be interesting to see ifAl Jazeera will keep the series. If they do, look outfor the first time they will have real money backingtheir amazing documentary series. Vanguard is waybetter than any documentary you will ever see onCNN. Al Jazeera will be the only real news channel.CNN, FNC & MSNBC are 24/7 political channels who are not providing the news we pay for. It's a news junkies dream. Right now Link is showssome of their programming .

Many are asking, will CNN go after the Vanguardfranchise. It fits perfectly with Anthony Bourdainand Morgan Spurlock. Kaj Lasen is at CNN and hewas a former member of the Vanguard journalism.It is the perfect style of journalism for CNN to addto their lineup. Those 4 would provide so muchcontent for CNN. See if they can get Laura Ling inthe mx as well. She was the original brains behindthe Vanguard franchise. Vanguard is on until 2 PMif you have Current TV. It's the only thing worthwatching on the entire network. Vanguard could also give CNN a fresh look with the style it uses.CNN should hire Conor Knighton too. He was withCurrent and had s couple of shows. Throw inMax Lugavere and Jason Silva as well. They hada really cool show called Still Up and they hadmini docs they talked about for an hour of thingsfrom all around the world. Current started off well but lately became just another cable newschannel.
